State Champs - Tight Grip Lyrics

You look so surprised to see
It working out for a freak like me
You know it's not brain surgery
You're big talk but you're boring me, yeah

9 to 5 suit and tie, a go getter
Narrow mind kinda guy, who knows better
Keeping score knowing you're the pretender
Yeah, I'm just thinking

Why are you like this?
Clinging to your tight grip
Living life with urgency
Fame's got its prices
Monetize your likeness
Still you think you know what's best for me

Bought what they sold you
Now that they control you
Living life so perfectly
You've got your own truth
I don't f*cking owe you
Still you think you know what's best for me

It makes sense inside your head
That old book beside your bed
That you never open
A hopeless devotion
Playing the part with confidence, yeah

Riding high, what a critical thinker
Watch as I put up both middle fingers
Waste of time, put the world through the ringer
'Cause you think you're a God
Well go figure and

You can go your way
You know we ain't the same so

Why are you like this?
Clinging to your tight grip
Living life with urgency
Fame's got it's prices
Monetize your likeness
Still you think you know what's best for me

Bought what they sold you
Now that they control you
Living life so perfectly
You've got your own truth
I don't f*cking owe you
Still you think you know what's best for me

(Still you think you know what's best for me)

9 to 5 suit and tie, a go getter
Narrow mind kinda guy, who knows better
Riding high, what a critical thinker
Watch as I put up both middle fingers

9 to 5 suit and tie, a go getter
Narrow mind kinda guy, who knows better
Riding high, what a critical thinker
Watch as I put up both middle fingers

Why are you like this?
Clinging to your tight grip
Living life with urgency
Fame's got it's prices
Monetize your likeness
Still you think you know what's best for me

Bought what they sold you
Now that they control you
Living life so perfect
You've got your own truth
I don't f*cking owe you
Still you think you know what's best for me
